Remember this doesn’t include the countless hours the breeder spends preparing and whelping a litter during a minimum of a 2 month period.
For the first two weeks the puppies must be kept in an incubator and taken out to be feed every two hours. The breeder will get minimal sleep during this critical time period. The Frenchie mothers are typically excellent mothers but for the protection of the puppies they are kept in an incubator.
As they grow, you must consider all the time that is invested in socializing and training them to go to their Furever homes.
